Maker of Heaven and Earth

The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth” Isa. 40:28 KJV
What is the first thing we ascribe to God the Father Almighty? We give Him credit for the work of His hands. We give Him credit for our very lives and being. We are His creation. We are not a product of chance or random mutation of genetic material. We are His creation. He is our Creator. This recognition elevates Him to His proper position and places us in ours. We are not God; He is. All the fine creative abilities He has given man are bare specks on a canvas compared the wonder and grandeur of His. He made no mistakes in His creation while we, like the potter in Jeremiah, squash our imperfect pots and must remake them again and again to get them right.
When we think of His mighty work we can see what an insult it is to Him that mankind has chosen to worship the creation more than the Creator. Creation is beautiful only because He made it so. The fault lines in creation only exist because of the curse placed on our sin. So when we begin this wonderful confession, we begin by placing ourselves where we belong – the created not the Creator.

Almighty God, We humbly recognize that You are our Creator and Master. Amen.
